  Phony Benoni: White's queen and knight can't make up their mind what to do, so Black simply ignores them. It's mate in every variation at the end:

a) 30.Kg1 Qf3 and 31...Rh1#;

b) 30.Ke2 Qg4+ 31.Kf2 (31.Kf1 Qf3+ 32.Kg1 Rh1#) Rh2+ and mates in two.

c) 30.Kg2 Rh2+ 31.Kxh2 Qf2+ 32.Kh3 Rh8+ 33.Kg4 Qf5#.

  fredthebear: “Phony Benoni Was No Bear”
Original Version

Phony Benoni was a no bear,
Phony Benoni has lots of hair,
Phony Benoni wasn’t really phony,
Was he?

Extended modern lyrics
Phony Benoni was a no bear,
Phony Benoni has lots of hair,
Phony Benoni wasn’t really phony,
No, by gosh, he wasn’t, was he?

Silly Willy was a worm
Silly Willy wouldn’t squirm
Silly Willy wasn’t silly
No, by gosh, he wasn’t really

Iddy Biddy was a mouse
Iddy Biddy had no spouse
Iddy Biddy wasn’t pretty
Oh, by gosh, it was a pity

Phony Benoni was a no bear,
Phony Benoni has lots of hair,
Phony Benoni wasn’t really phony,
No, by george, he wasn’t, was he?

***

Thank you to Phony Benoni for his many contributions to this website over the years!!

  gezafan: After 20 moves white had a better position. 21.Qxa4, with black's kingside attack looming, throws it all away.
